What is upload button for Mac?

[brett]

A Mac doesn't see the upload button that a windows machine does. What
is the equivalent HTML for a Mac?

Thanks,
Brett

Mac? Windows? The browser is far more relevant then the platform it renders
on. I'm not aware of any Mac browser that doesn't implement <input
type="file">. Perhaps you should provide a (valid) sample page
demonstrating the issue. Some screenshots might also be helpful (in
addition to the code).

Which Mac browser are you talking about? Unlike Windows/IE, the browser
and OS aren't even close to the same thing so their names cannot be used
interchangably; but I will assume you are referring to Safari.

Are you simply trying to include a file upload control or are you trying
to control the interface for the control which is presented to the user?

The code to include the control in Safari is identical to that used in
any other browser:
<input type="file">

However, the widget presented to the user by the browser is entirely out
of your control. The HTML spec does not dictate how a control must
look, it only provides suggestions. User agents are free to implement
the controls in whatever way is most appropriate for their users. In
this case, Apple have decided that a text box with a browse... button is
innappropriate and present a different kind of widget. As an author,
you have no say in how the user's system looks and works and nor should you.
